FC - my issue with the "primary account holder" actually has a long history. A very well known telephone company wouldn't permit me to add any "friends and family" numbers to the account because the account was in Mr M's name. I argued that, as his wife, I have the power of his life and death...

I and many others around my age used to know these places as 'spit and sawdust' pubs.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, we will have to meet up next year.

I tried my local Morrisons and couldn't find any at all. Mind you it was a small supermarket. Perhaps I should try a larger one then.We don't have a Waitrose for miles and miles. It's probably not worth them opening stores here in EssexI haven't. But would frozen ones be good enough for...

Oh yes OK then ta!Yes 'M' there seems to be less and less places to go out for a cosy pint these days. Around here it's either rough pubs full of idiots or foody restaurant type pubs where it's not really comfortable to go and sit if you're just having a drink. All open plan tiled floors are...

I agree with Loli, it was probably a swarm of flies or ants they were feeding off.

I always remember him on Juke Box Jury in the late 50's to late 60's. He was a genteel presenter , I always liked him . Brian Mathews is still on R2 Saturday mornings doing sound of the sixties at 84 . Pete Murray is still going at 87....whatever happened to Cathy McGowan from Ready Steady Go ?

That's like running the heating on hot sunny summer days . It works better for airconditioning.

A pile of people swam across the Bering Strait last month. Eeeek! 110 kilometres due to the current. Even in summer, it must be freezing.

Well done clue!! Val

I've got one that makes tea!!!!! Val

I'm on another diet at the moment to help my mind with panic attacks I keep having. I had to give up being a vegetarian after 6 years of doing it and give up all sweet, fatty and unhealthy foods all together. I have to exercise everyday and eat pretty much nothing but vegetables or fruit...

Brilliant!

And one of his finest Hours...

I have not experienced a bad sand storm like that although we have come across a few.. The worst thing we found were mini twisters.. They were only inches high & would swirl across the road.. They will pick your car/truck up & spin you round.. Believe me, had that fright several times... I...

On second thoughts, maybe I'll swap it for one of these!!!! Val

I haven't been to Swanage for at least ....... a week!

Its why I only post utter sh... rubbish on Bookface. I was a Spaniard for a while as I tried to trick the profiling engine It didn't work, but in a previous effort I did briefly start receiving German adverts

Well, the replacement phone arrived - complete with a knackered charger! Fantastic quality control?!?!?!And the credit card company phoned yesterday to try and sell me an upgrade to their 'repayment option plan' - less than 24hrs after cancelling it! They just do not listen.

Oh well done dude, enjoy.I always enjoyed the 'lessons learned' meetings myself. It gave me the chance to get out reams of paper with my concerns and predicted results clearly stated on and the responses from various higher echelons... I used to work with someone who flatly said to anyone,...
